Deshaun Watson settlement offer shows legal troubles continue

As the trade deadline approached for the NFL last November, details emerged from trade talks between the Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans that had a clear mandate: For any deal involving Deshaun Watson to advance, the Dolphins wanted the quarterback’s legal issues settled. First and foremost, the 22 civil suits that were pending against the Texans QB in the Harris County Court system.

Trevor Lawrence shows up big

Nobody had given up on Trevor Lawrence. But before the Jacksonville Jaguars‘ final game this season, Lawrence looked very little like the star he was touted to be.  Blame Urban Meyer or Lawrence’s teammates or the Jaguars in general for a bad rookie season, but it has been a bad rookie season.
